Abstract
⺠Study results suggest educational credentials provide an additional benefit to risk of coronary heart disease beyond schooling. ⺠Degree credentials were associated with decreasing prevalence of “high risk” value for most of the individual components of the 10-year Framingham risk score. ⺠Understanding whether schooling or degree credentials independently contribute to health can help us construct better CHD risk scores for clinical use.
